The Dress

The Story

Fusing sexiness, with all the right classic, sophisticated details, the Valentina gown is for the woman who wants a traditional dress, but with chic, modern touches.

The Valentina features a flattering shape, beginning with a semi-fitted lace bodice with longer line, t-shirt sleeves and straight edge lining, for a contemporary feel. The open back has a double satin button closure and artfully placed lace motifs. The dramatic, full circle skirt has been handmade with 10 metres of Italian silk chiffon and a high side split adorned with French eyelash lace.

The dress is a AUS/NZ size Medium. I am a size 12, but it will fit a size 10-12, as it is super stretchy.
